Visiting Tiburon

Tiburon is headquartered in, and named after, the town of Tiburon, California, a bay side community just outside of San Francisco. Since Tiburon consultants travel frequently, the firm chose to locate the office here, as opposed to being in a downtown office building, purely as a quality of life decision. Tiburon can do great research in this environment and still have access to the airport to visit its clients regularly, which are scattered throughout the US and increasingly overseas.

Visiting Tiburon
Tiburon has several terrific restaurants with views of the San Francisco Bay spanning the financial district, the ferry building, Fisherman's Wharf, and the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, as well as views of Mount Tamalpais.

Tiburon's Main Street offers world-class restaurants, a terrific hotel named the Water's Edge, a wine tasting room from Windsor Vineyards, a variety of boutique shops, and an old fashioned movie theater.If you have some free time while in the Bay Area or on your way to visit Tiburon Strategic  Advisors, here are some of the key spots:

The Water's Edge opened in 2000. It is located on the water facing San Francisco and has a trendy modern feel. Reportedly, the beds and bathrooms are the best part. Many Tiburon fellows stay at the Water's Edge when they are in town for Tiburon's CEO Summits. Another good option is the Tiburon Lodge.

If you want a nice dinner with a great view of San Francisco, Servino's may be your choice. Formerly a small Italian bistro, this two story restaurant features pasta and seafood. You'll think you are in a trendy city restaurant. Introduce yourself to the owner Angelo and ask to be seated in the sections of Ezio or John.

If you have a sweet tooth or need Starbuck's coffee, visit Sweden House. Apple turnovers and cherry strudel are the favorites of Tiburon's managing principal. Sweden House also serves Starbuck's coffee and has some limited outdoor seating. Watch for the pigeons though; they will happily join your table. Another good option for coffee is Cafe Acri (owned by the same folks as Servino's).

If you need that omelet, BLT, or generally just some counter conversation, stop by Mike & Dave's. Conversation usually involves the Giants, As, 49ers, Raiders, Sharks, Warriors, and other local sports teams. Talk to the owners; you can't miss them - one is usually serving and the other cooking. Another good option for a quick lunch is the Dynasty for Chinese food.

Sam's is a hamburger and fish & chips place with lots of outdoor seating overlooking the bay. It is one of the oldest restaurants in the area and brings back memories for many. The crab cakes are the signature dish. Getting a table on a sunny weekend day can be a two hour wait!

Windsor Vineyards store presents a unique opportunity if you won't be able to get up to the wine country (30 minutes north of Tiburon). Windsor Vineyards (a Sonoma vineyard) has a tasting room in Tiburon. Stop by for a few tastes and take note of the opportunity to order custom labels for your wines. Tiburon purchases Windsor wines for its semi-annual CEO Summits.
